One of the biggest benefits of OER is to make Immediate changes when needed.
The RISE Framework was developed as a way to efficiently and effectively assess OER and focus on areas of improvement. The framework stands for "Resource Inspection, Selection, and Enhancement.

Weekly Insights:
This weeks readings provided great information on continuous improvement of OER. In addition to permission to make changes, improvement required a capacity for measurements. We can say we've changed OER without measuring the impact of those changes, but we can only say we've improved OER when we have measured student outcomes and confirmed that they have actually changed for the better.
Continuous improvement of OER, then, is the iterative process of:
Instrumenting OER for measurement,
Measuring their effectiveness in supporting student mastery of learning outcomes,
Identifying areas where student mastery of those learning outcomes was not effectively supported,
Making changes to the learning design of the underperforming OER aligned to those learning outcomes, and then
Beginning the cycle again so we can:
Measure the impact of those changes and determine whether or not they were actually improvements (not just changes), and
Identify additional areas that need strengthening.
Engaging in the continuous improvement of OER in this manner allows us to make OER support learning more effectively each semester.
